I tried 3 different full-face masks, this year (2006). I would have to
rate them quite differently than the previous posters:

1) Hybrids - Simply the best, even better than my CL2 with mouth tape.
Used every night for 13 weeks now.

2) HC431 - Hot and leaky, but better than the UMFF. I was able to tolerate this guy for 2 - 3 hours per night for a week.

3) UMFF - Every time I got the straps tight enough to stop the leaks,
it would start to feel like the mask was going to shove my teeth
down my throat. Also, my lower jaw was very sore the next day.
I was only able to tolerate this beast for 3 trial sessions and part of one
night.
Olgearhead,

It looks like you and I have traveled the same path and wound up with the same results when it comes to FF masks.
I have the same masks and would rate them in the same order you did with only one addition to the list.
In fourth place I would put the comfortful 2, overall a nice mask that may have worked for me except that it bruised the bridge of my nose only after one night.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body totally worn out and screaming,WOO HOO what a ride!

That's exactly what I told my RT, last week. She said you would be surprised at how many other people have said that very same thing to her.

I told her that "actually, I'm not at all surprised to hear that"
I will say that the UMFF is really great though, and you are right about it being so quiet. Every other FF that I tried (including the Hybrid), were WAY too loud for me.
